Saturday Bantering: Jays Notes

Great to see Shane Bieber pitch so well in his first outing with the Jays.

John Schneider thought so too:

“Great tempo. Change up was ridiculous. Slider was great. Spotted his fastball.. everything you look for in a guy who’s won a Cy Young, and he made it look way easier than it is, or than it is for most people, coming off that surgery.”

They Jays announced their starting pitchers for the next week:

• Monday: Max Scherzer
• Tuesday: Chris Bassitt
• Wednesday Eric Lauer
• Thursday: Off-Day
• Friday: Shane Bieber

Lauer will still be available in the pen today, but not for

a long outing. The want to give Bieber an extra day before his next start.
